Police have confirmed they are investigating pictures showing masked men in paramilitary gear parading in West Belfast as more images emerged yesterday.

Men and women were shown in black clothing, berets and sunglasses in the pictures posted online.

They were said to have been taken during an Easter Rising parade on Sunday and were shared on the Facebook pages of the Irish Republican Socialist Party (IRSP). The group has links with republican terror group, the INLA.

On Tuesday more pictures of masked men and guns emerged on social media.

A PSNI spokesman confirmed an investigation into Sunday’s march is under way.

He said: “Police will now review all evidence gathered and pursue all relevant lines of inquiry relating to any offences or breaches of the Parades Commission determinations.”
